USA based airline ffp's tend to be more generous (status benefits/earn/burn/upgrades/award cost/award cash surcharges/expiry/affiliated credit card ff mile earning/promotions) compared to non USA based airline ffp’s (even after the recent changes to some USA ffp’s).

The airline you fly most or an airline of the country you live is the best ffp for many people. Generally you are better earning on your primary airline due to greater recognition, better service when disruptions, ability to upgrade flights and possible operational upgrades.

If awards are your ffp objective earn to burn is what matters.
For award comparison look here (or a similar site) http://www.awardace.com/

That is a good point. Though with my current routes, would AS be a decent alternative? With them acquiring VX they now cover all 3 of NYC - SEA,SFO,LAX, and I can easily switch to CX/JL/KE for APAC travel & BA/AF for European travel.
